Happy Stir up Sunday!

Today is Stir Up Sunday. The last Sunday before Advent. I made my xmas puddings today, after soaking the fruit is brandy overnight. They are now steaming away in the slow cooker for several hours. This process makes them very moist and full of flavour.

Stir-up Sunday dates back to Victorian times, when cooks prepared the Christmas pudding by stirring the mixture and adding silver coins as good luck token!

Healthier Homemade Granola

Homemade Granola. I have been meaning to make my own granola for ages, so I am so pleased that at long last I did it and even better, it tastes really good! I like knowing what is exactly in my granola - no hidden sugars, which often happens with bought granola. Here's the quick and easy recipe I used:- 1 Banana - mashed up 3 tbsp Maple syrup or honey 80g Peanut butter (or any nut butter) 210g mixed unsalted chopped nuts 160g rolled oats 100g dried fruit 1 tsp cinnamon Instructions:- Mix mashed banana, peanut butter & maple syrup/honey. Add chopped nuts, oats & cinnamon to the mix. Spread the mixture thinly on a baking tray. Bake for 20 mins in oven 170c/325f. Once cooled ad the mixed fruit. Store in air tight jar for up to 2 weeks. Delicious with Greek yoghurt!
